We have a few one-click applications you might be interested in that are basically pre-configured droplets ready to go:

Each of them has an article on how to use it: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles

Users can exchange istances ?

You can take a snapshot of your droplet and open up a support ticket to have it transferred to another account however that's not recommended if you just want to share your snapshot with other people, rather to e.g. transfer a snapshot from your droplet's account to a client's account, transfer a snapshot for your account to your company's account, etc.
